DATED : SEPTEMBER 06, 2016
ORAL JUDGMENT : [PER SMT. V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J. ]:
1 Rule. Rule is made returnable forthwith. By consent,
matter is taken up for final hearing. Heard both sides.
2 The petitioner preferred an application for parole on
2.7.2014 on the ground of illness of his wife. By order dated
9.12.2014, the said application came to be rejected by the

jdk 2 9.crwp.2581.16.j.doc
Divisional Commissioner, Pune. Being aggrieved thereby the
petitioner preferred an appeal on 29.12.2014. The said appeal
was allowed by order dated 17.10.2015. Pursuant to the said
order, the petitioner was released on parole for a period of
thirty days from 24.10.2015 to 23.11.2015. On 3.11.2015 the
petitioner preferred first application for extension of the parole.
The said application was granted and the parole period was
extended from 24.11.2015 to 23.12.2015.
3 On 7.12.2015 the petitioner preferred second
application for extension of parole for a period of thirty days.
The said application was rejected by order dated 26.4.2016
and hence, this petition.
4 The extension of parole was sought on the ground
that the wife of the petitioner required "Hysterectomy
Surgery". It is an admitted fact that the application for
extension was made within time. Genuineness of the reason
stated by the petitioner is not doubted and disputed.
Moreover, it is seen that as soon as the period of thirty days
was over, the petitioner surrendered back to the prison on his
2 of 3

own on 24.1.2016.
5 Looking to all the above facts, on humanitarian
ground we are inclined to extend the period of parole by a
period of thirty days from 24.12.2015 to 23.1.2016. Prison
punishment if any, imposed on the petitioner on account of his
overstay, is set aside. Rule is made absolute in above terms.
Office to communicate this order to the petitioner
who is in Yerawada Central Prison, Pune.
